Vigilance Awareness Week 2025:
India commenced its observance of Vigilance Awareness Week 2025 from 27 October, rallying citizens and public institutions around the theme: “Vigilance – Our Shared Responsibility.” Celebrated annually in the last week of October to commemorate the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (31 October), this initiative aims to foster greater public awareness about the importance of integrity, accountability, and ethical conduct in public life. The campaign serves as a nationwide call to action to fight corruption and reinforce transparent governance, with active participation from ministries, departments, public sector units (PSUs), banks, schools, and civil society. The 2025 theme, “Vigilance – Our Shared Responsibility,” emphasizes that the fight against corruption and unethical practices is not the burden of a single agency but a collective societal duty.
